Any Laois men about? :o
Monaghan definitely got the rub of the green thus far in the qualifiers but our eara have pricked up and our eyes have narrowed for this one.. It'll definitely not be as simple as the previous 2. I'd expect us to win, one major fu*kup in a season is enough for any man..

I had a gander and they're all over in their own sub-forum plotting our downfall.
This should certainly be a sterner test than our last two but we should still prevail and move on to the Super 8s. We are definitely prone to the odd c**k up as you say, but the prize of the last 8 is within reach so I would hope we move it up a gear for this one.
Is Kieran Hughes back for this one?
The 1979 Monaghan team had a Finlay a Hughes and a Clerkin playing as did the team of a few years ago. Any of them related?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_All-Ireland_Senior_Football_Championship
All Irelabd Semi final
K Finlay 0-4, H Clerkin 0-1, E Hughes 0-1.
Kieran "Jap"Finlay , R.I.P., father of Paul , recently retired Monaghan left footed supremo
Hugo Clerkin, father of recently retired Monaghan midfielder & GAA high command propagandist in chief Dick
Eugene Hughes , more widely known by his nom de guerre Nudie, no sons playing recently but did have a son that played a bit of ball for Monaghan in the last 8-10 years but never hit the heights of his father.

There was also Jack McCarron's da Ray who came onto the scene a bit later but had success in the 80s and won an all star in 93.

Nudie's nephew is Rory Woods, who played for Monaghan in the '00s, a bear of a man.. He'd similar style and build to Nudie.

His son Ciaran was knocking around the panel for a few years too though.
Ben Beggan also played a bit of ball for Monaghan in the 80's.........Rory Beggans father.

GRMA
Nothing like a family tradition
Just had a wee look at the Laois page and is it not a bit parochial to be chatting away over there and not try and discuss the game here :D
An intertesting statistic that the Monaghan boys would like to hide is that McManus only scored a single point in the match against Leitrim. :o

And if he scored 75% of our scores, you'd be here calling us a one man team.
Your bizarre trolling attempts are getting worse.
Schkite, I wouldn't even respond to that tool.
Its entire output on this board is anti Monaghan trolling and amateur level trolling at that, as far from Fearonesqe ,at times , subtle trolling ,as u can get.
Infantile , unsophisticated and obsessive.
I have a theory that he/she had their eye wiped at a Gaeltacht disco as a teenager by a much better looking , witty and charming Monaghan person and has privately seethed and wallowed in a hatred of all things Monaghan ever since.
Tapping away at a keyboard in some hell hole like Greenhills or Ballyroan cursing their luck at not been cuter and more alert to the Monaghan threat at that Rosmuc disco in 1994.
Get help Bro, life's too short man.
Viva Muìneachain !!!
I asked that south Dublin fella for his reasons for hating us so much in the leitrim match thread but got no reply so I'll ask him again here. So then Bro, what's the story behind the bitterness and incessant negative posts towards a harmless wee county like ourselves?
This match is really going to tell us where Laois and Monaghan are at. Laois have a very good manager versus last year . Monaghan haven't got past the quarters despite a lotta huffing and puffing. Maybe the Super 8 is a bit early for Laois
South Dublin Bro may be allergic to mushrooms.

Well done seaf. Nailed it!
Haha. Allergic to mushrooms indeed.
On todays game Id expect a test from Laois but if Beggan fires from long range it'll carry Monaghan over the line. You are better off going into the super 8s having had a test than us having played nobody. Yours is probably the tougher group with the two provincial champs being favourite to progress but Monaghan are primed to upset the applecart in that group. One upset v Kerry or Galway and win in CP v Kildare and you're there. Best of luck.and safe travels today.
What radio channel would likely cover this game live?
Midlands 103 should have it.
Northern Sound too.
Northern Sound already at ear bursting decibel levels.
Alan Gunn (NS) referred to the 'home crowd' being well roused up for the game.
Monaghan all over Laois like a wet blanket.
Brody showing once again that he is one of the best Goalkeepers around, only for him it would be all over..though it probably already is to be fair :D
HALF-TIME: Laois 1-04 Monaghan 0-14
Christ only for Brody, Monaghan could have 4 or 5 goals
Brody having some game by the sounds of it alright. Why isn't this game live on RTE or Sky? a bit daft all other 3 round 4 games was on TV and one game wasn't.
Just a 4 point game now. Just 0-4 for Monaghan in this 2nd half so far.
Much better from Laois in 2nd half. 4 points in it with 5 to play.

mconville on the radio said the keeper saved 6 one-on-one chances. is that true?
5 point win for Monaghan. Kildare in their current form will fancy their chances to win next Sunday.

I lost count!
Fantastic effort from Laois. Five point defeat in the end but they gave it everything in the second half and considering this was Division 4 v Division 1 it was a lot closer than many expected.
Brody is one of the best Goalkeepers in the country.
Have Monaghan emptied the tank before the Super 8s?

we'll see - you'd have expected them to push on today after being so much ahead in the 1st half but it sounds like the couldn't get the goal they needed to put it away. Putting the qualifiers against each other next week is a good idea. Both teams will be playing for the 4th week in a row whereas the provincial winners will be rested. I think that's the fairest all round

I'd say the opposite tbh in that we might be a bit undercooked, we didn't get any sort of a test in the qualifiers up until the 2nd half today so didn't exert ourselves at all, which isn't necessarily a good thing.
Laois to their credit fought back well today and kept the game interesting right up to the end. We always had that 4 pt cushion so I don't know if we were ever in real jeopardy, but it ended up being a hell of alot more nervy than it should have been. Excellent 1st half, but it seems like some lads heads were already in the Super 8s by the second half, but Laois kept plugging away. Brody was immense for Laois, and only for him we'd surely have had a couple of goals and the tie would have been put to bed early, but as it was we had to grit it out to the end.
Anyway, into the Super 8s now which was always the objective, but alot to work on. Kildare next week is a massive game which both really need to win. I can see most people tipping Kildare now given our recent form, but hopefully we can get the heads focused again and give it a right lash.
Have you ever seen a display like the laois keeper yesterday .
Dont think i ever witnessed anything like it .
At one stage monaghan people stood and applauded him in the second half

Seriously tho you had to be there to withness it ...Brody was superb Ill never see a better display again!
I'd be more worried about the amount of goal chances we are allowing teams than focusing on our keepers performance . It's a bad sign when your keeper is one of the busiest keepers the country.
